Hey @shayne_coplan
You’ve built - and continue to build - an excellent product.
But right now, there’s real chaos happening on a number of markets in @Polymarket
In the event https://t.co/czPscxm56R, UMA token stakers are currently voting on the outcome. It’s ridiculous that the fate of a market with $120 million in trading volume is being decided by holders of a token with a market cap of only $42 million.
If you subtract the exchanges and the team holdings, the actual stakers probably control no more than $20 million worth of tokens. And these holders who influence Polymarket resolutions are very likely participating in the bets themselves. That means the most interested parties are the ones deciding the outcome.
How can they possibly make a fair and honest decision when their own profits are on the line?
Is this really the kind of decentralization we were aiming for, Shayne?
It would be much better if you appointed 7 anonymous experts who would vote on disputed markets in a balanced and objective way - instead of letting random UMA token holders decide the fate of a billion-dollar platform!
By the way, I remember @Tyler_Did_It ran into a similar problem about a year ago.
Below, I’ll explain why this market should resolve as NO:
What actually happened on the evening of April 7, 2026:
•Around 6:30–7:00 PM ET, President Trump posted on Truth Social. He offered to suspend U.S. bombing and attacks on Iran for two weeks, but only if Iran agreed to the complete, immediate, and safe opening of the Strait of Hormuz. He called it a “double-sided ceasefire” and described Iran’s 10-point plan as a “workable basis for negotiations.” Trump added that most issues were nearly resolved and the two weeks would be used to finalize a full agreement.
•Iran’s Supreme National Security Council released its statement on April 8 (after midnight ET). They accepted the two-week ceasefire but framed it as a “great victory,” claiming the U.S. had fully accepted their 10-point plan.
Why this is NOT a full official agreement:
•It was a conditional, unilateral announcement by Trump — the pause in strikes depends on Iran immediately reopening the Strait.
•No signed joint document or official bilateral statement exists.
•The White House later clarified that Iran’s original 10-point plan was “fundamentally unserious,” “unacceptable,” and “thrown in the garbage.” What Trump called “workable” was a revised version negotiated via Pakistan.
•Both sides interpret the deal very differently (especially on sanctions, uranium enrichment, Lebanon, and U.S. troop withdrawal).
Hezbollah is not equivalent to Lebanon. The platform condones whales manipulating UMA voting, engaging in illegal settlements, and robbing users of their funds.

@Polymarket This market was resolved against the facts. market:https://t.co/OZNfusJgFH’s real flaw: whale voting power decides outcomes, not rules or facts.

Polymarket’s real flaw:
whale voting power decides outcomes, not rules or facts.
Polymarket 的争议裁决模式有巨大漏洞
市场:Israel x Hezbollah ceasefire by April 18, 2026?
